Black Queen by Michael Morpurgo

Over the coming weeks we will be reading this novel….

The blurb reads….”The story is centred around Billy who is very suspicious about his neighbour. He calls her the ‘€œBlack Queen’€ as she always wears a black cloak and wide brimmed hat – and spends a lot of time lurking around her garden with her cat.

When she asks Billy to look after her cat whilst she’€™s away he is both scared and curious. He takes a tiny peak into her house where he discovers chess boards everywhere. Why are they there? What game is she playing?”
